It’s the Oscars. Enough Said.

Kate Winslet was primped and dressed to win. Loved the gorgeous one-shoulder YSL dress, but it was that hairstyle that really clinched it. It was like she was channeling Grace Kelly. (I wonder how much Elnett she needed to keep it in place?) Since the hair was so done, loved that she kept the makeup simple and neutral.

Best Supporting Actress winner Penélope Cruz was born to walk the red carpet. She knows how to highlight her stunning features (clean skin, lined eyes, strong brows, and nude lips are all that’s needed to complement that bone structure) and her intricate updo got an update with the bangs. And the vintage Balmain gown? Ridiculously gorgeous, too.

No one does the Snow White look like Anne Hathaway. That Armani Prive dress looked luminous on her porcelain skin. Thanks to loads of liner and lashes, her brown eyes looked bigger that ever. I also liked that she skipped the red lip this time—that berry lipstick was a nice change.

Does Angelina Jolie ever have a bad day? Her black strapless Elie Saab gown was beautiful, and those emerald-colored jewels were as sparkly as her best feature, her eyes. She played them up perfectly—with lots of liner.

Even though Taraji P. Henson’s makeup was fairly simple—loads of black mascara, smudgy charcoal liner and nude lips—it wasn't boring. Probably because her insanely shiny, newly-sharpened bob (love the side-swept bangs and angled-forward side pieces), brought all the focus to her gorgeous eyes.

Amy Adams ignored that stupid rule about redheads not wearing red. Doing her own thing clearly works for her, because her mauve lips (another redhead no-no) and intensely lined eyes all blended together seamlessly. That sculptural updo, with loosely pulled-back sides and looped bun, looked amazing with her corseted Carolina Herrera gown and that killer necklace.

OK, this is how to do natural-looking highlights. See how the light brown shade of Sarah Jessica Parker’s bouncy, shiny hair is accented around her face with warm shots of caramel, exactly where and how the sun would lighten it? Pretty amazing how the color and shape of her hair, and her shimmery taupe eye shadow, echoed the embellishments on her Dior Haute Couture dress, but that attention to detail seems in character for SJP.

The mixture of textures Beyoncé had going on with her hair and makeup was mindblowing. I loved how her tightly slicked-back hair fell into a wavy ponytail (straightening it wouldn't have been so interesting), and that she kept her skin on the matte side, with shimmery highlights on her cheek and browbones. The slightly smudgy black cat’s eye liner, and shiny pinkish-nude lip gloss were a beautiful finishing touch.

Safe to say Jennifer Aniston is the queen of hippie chic. Even at the most glam event in Hollywood, she didn't go for a stiff hairstyle and severe makeup. Nope, the hair was loose and wavy, accented with a face-framing chunky braid. Dewy bronzed skin and shiny rosy-pink lips were also signature Aniston California cool.
